The flight today was absolutely awesome. We worked on more crosswind stuff, most of it is like second nature to me now. Taking off was easy, one time I forgot the cockpit cleanup and had the carb heat on so I had lost about 1000 RPMs, but other than that all went well today. We did a slip today, and the wind took me way off to the right so I cranked in more aileron and brought her to the centerline and slipped the other way into a fairly decent Xwind landing. Jerry was proud of that one.
The only other landing worth mentioning was the last one. The last landing was as close to perfect as a Xwind landing can get. The put in the right aileron, and left rudder. she went straight the whole time and descended smooth as a turtle shell. There was no thud, no squeaking from the tires. It was a complete greaser. The only noise was Jerry telling me that if anyone asked, he was gonna say he did it. It was a good day. More character for me. Man, this flying stuff justs gets better and better. (Knock on wood) Until next time, over and out.
